According to the MN DNR spring turkey application if you were a successful landowner you need to allow hunting on your property throughout the entire season. If a person did not want to hunt on public land I would go to the landowners and ask them for permission to hunt their land. If they say no you turn them into the MN DNR and if they say yes you are more than likely by yourself in their woods. There are over 30 pages of names, addresses and size of their property to choose from. You could easily search them by city.

that law is kind of a bogus law!!!??? a land owner should be able to say no i have a group coming to hunt my land he owns & pays taxes on why punish him because he wants 2 draw a land owner tag??? i mean its good law for folks that want to bulldog there way onto somebody's property but if they said no i couldn't turn them into the MNDNR that's just wrong & there choice... that law will lead to more & more land owners joining us in the regular draw & not applying as a land owner i think??? what if the land owners just dont answer the door??? can we call johnny law on them??? lol
